1. I grew stronger little by little everyday from the daily practice of denying my desires choosing instead to stay abstinent from sugar, and carbohydrate.
2. I have also increase the level of difficulty by doing fasting at the same time and had to deal with the urge and craving regularly.
There was so much information on Ketogenic diet and Intermitten fasting online, and it kept me very well informed. After doing it a few times, I was very confident that they work. Since December until now, I have shed 12 kg.
But I have to regularly check myself to remain patient and not be too obsess with them due to my addictive personality; the disease of wanting more.
Dieting forces me to practice seeking progress and not perfection just like in life and recovery. What happen if I have a cheat day? Just like in life and recovery, I dont give up completely, I will continue to do my best tomorrow. We may have lost a battle somewhere along the way but we have not lost the war.
This journey is for life, and we can only do this much; take one baby step at a time, one day at a time.
